Popular handheld thermal night vision cameras are better than ever.

Portland, OR – FLIR Systems (NASDAQ: FLIR) announced the launch of the next generation of its popular First Mate line of handheld thermal night vision cameras. The First Mate II family has the same thermal imaging performance that boaters have come to expect, but adds the powerful InstAlert feature.

Ultra-compact, easy to use, and light weight, First Mate II models are available 240 × 180 or 320 × 240 resolutions and a wide variety of lens options. They also long battery life, a rugged, all-weather design, and some models can plug into external monitor for even greater flexibility.
